Synopsis

1912, Mexico. Lyedecker, an Arizona-law enforcer visits a remote village in search of Yaqui Joe, a fearless bank robber who has stolen thousands of pounds from an Arizona bank in order to help his tribe obtain rifles to protect themselves against the ruthless actions of the local government.

Concerned at first only with his mission, Lyedecker has not reckoned on the locals, who include the beautiful and reckless Sarita (Raquel Welch), and soon finds himself being pulled into the complex and dangerous tensions of the town.
